I guess you never heard of yellow magic orchestra or kraftwerk.

But let's give all the majority of the credit to arthur baker, juan atkins and the gang.

Clearly because when it's underground, you don't need to clear samples.

I guess you've never heard any Detroit techno apart from Cybertron - Clear.

France is crucial as well with the influence of jean michel jarre.

Originally posted by PivotTechno The only joke in this thread is you. Did you just discover electronic music last week or something?

It's just that it's enough saying USA brought it first which Germany then UK took after. Holland made it's share but not as much as the last two.

And you must be dutch or something.

No, I'm not, and no need for such base assumptions.

Silly, blunt answers beget silly, blunt replies. Your second explanation carries considerably more merit than "you gotta be kidding me", which implies that you simply don't care about the subject matter. If that's the case, then don't post.

Trying to discern which single country had the biggest influence on EDM depends on whether you're talking about origin (U.S., Germany), culture (U.K., by a longshot, which was in turn influenced by Spain, India and as System-J mentioned, Jamaica), early output (U.S., U.K., Belgium, Holland and Germany) as well as the kind of electronic music to which you're referring. Gotta remember (and whether you like Gabber or not), the Dutch invented an entire, distinct genre that during its heyday, was absolutely massive and sold a shitload of records. They were also of huge influence in the early Techno scene.

Originally posted by Nrg2Nfinit germany UK italy then US i honestly think people give detroit/chicago way to much credit. I mean, all those guys did was sample pre-existing stuff and loop it together. But i guess that's essentially what house music is. Welcome to the wonderful world of armand van helden and ejay.

I don't think anyone can do what Todd Terry or Todd Edwards can do. Sampling isn't as easy as it looks.

Defiantly USA, The United Kingdom or....

What about Japan? I'm surprised nobody mention her

Yellow Magic Orchestra? Roland?

Other honorable mentions: Italy, Germany & Jamaica

Originally posted by Euforix What makes you think that? I think Netherlands have had quite big effect on EDM especially in commercialism and making it more festival-like in couple of decades. Of course not all by themselves but still. Just my opinion. And actually after thinking little bit further I could also add UK in my first post.

+1

DETROIT... that's where it all started

Originally posted by SYSTEM-J Step outside of your little trance bubble, for fuck's sake. The answer is obviously Germany, the US and the UK. I would also give a worthy shout out to Jamaica, not only for inventing dub and an entire studio culture in the 1970s, but for the huge impact the Jamaican musical diaspora has had on everything from hip-hop to jungle to dubstep to progressive house.

...and Netherlands as stated. The thread topic has the word 'important' in it which is getting people riled up but it all depends on the time period. France for JMJ but I don't know much about France EDM outside of him (so I can't comment further).

I'm not sure where EDM will go in 2012 but we are definitely at a crossroads

I always find it funny that everyone always says detroit or Chicago...but always leave out new York.

"Having DJed since 1990 and travelled all over the world, I�ve seen various countries change over the years, and what is predominant in that change is that the clubs themselves are marketing themselves, and their music policies, and the DJs, to what the UK does. You could stand in a club in Tokyo, in Montreal, in New York, or Singapore, or even Sydney, close your eyes and without knowing what is going on, you could be in a club in England. I do think that they do try to emulate what goes on in the UK, which is a good thing . . .

The dance scene has a worldwide identity. I really believe that dance music is a world phenomenon, and we are all dancing to the same beat, but in different countries."

real talk. new york is incredibly underrated on this site. I bet 95% of knicks on this site don't even know good music from their own turf.

At the mmoment if you were to say 2010's ud be saying everything is coming out of sweden and the usa/uk.

sweden - your Knife Parties/niki and dove sound... id say the swedes brought back the 80s sound swedish house mafia

you are painfully retarded even by alt standards.

I much prefer the output from Detroit and Chicago, but all 3 cities had some crossovers in terms of influence. I still like Garage, just not as much as the jack from the Midwest.

Not Canada.
